Detailed Answer:
Hello there,
Welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service...

Firstly, both of you need to take the first step i.e. pre-pregnancy assessment which is really important to pinpoint if at all there are any concerns to be looked in to...

So, I'd recommend both of you to meet a Gynecologist/Family planning advisor first...There will be a different set of investigations for both of you after which things can be ascertained to quite an extent regarding conceiving naturally...

For you, the mainstay of investigation includes Blood grouping and antibody screening, HPLC, routine STD screening, urine analysis, and sperm analysis...

While for her, they may run much more extensive check-ups i.e. Hemogram with peripheral smear, Blood group and antibody screening, HPLC, routine STD screening, TORCH panel analysis, FBS, PPBS, HbA1C, Thyroid function test, Vit D3 level, Midstream urine analysis, PAP smear, and an Ultrasound abdomen as a primary check-up...

So, just simply schedule the visit with the Gynecologist/Family planning advisor at first and proceed accordingly...

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take Care
Kind Regards
